A couple of days ago I was looking for a venue to perform ‘Sting in the Tale’ on the way to Blackpool in May and now it looks like a mini Midlands tour is on the way!   I hope to be in Walsall on Thursday 4th and Leicester on Friday May 5th.   Anyone fancy Wednesday May 3rd whilst I’m up that way? It won’t cost you anything.   Midweek gigs have proved to be as popular as weekend gigs as the concert finishes around 8.30 so those who have to work the following day (or those who are as old as me) don’t have a late night.

On off. On off. On off…… Ok, I apologise that I have mentioned this before…but things keep changing! Blackpool on May the 6th is DEFINITELY ON! I thought I had another booking arranged for Friday 5th, but that fell through so…I am still looking for a venue (somewhere north of the M4 and Blackpool) who would be willing to host ‘A sting in the Tale’ fun evangelistic concert. Exactly the same for Friday May 19th but then I’m looking for a venue between Chichester and Ilfracombe. If anyone can help out, and numbers attending are not important, it will not cost the Church a penny not even petrol money. All…

Looking forward to being in Eastbourne this Friday night (24th) for our ‘Sting in the Tale’ acoustic concert at   St Anthony’s Centre 557a Seaside Eastbourne BN23 6NH   The concert begins at 7 (doors open 6.30) and will be over soon after 8.30 so it won’t be too late a night if you are travelling from any distance.   Tickets are £5 on the door and I promise you an enjoyable, relaxed, fun evening…. with just a few things to think about!

Just to inform you that I am doing a special shop offer. The ‘Bigger Barn’ CD PLUS the ‘Bigger Barn’ DVD PLUS the ‘It’s Party Time’ DVD…all 3 for just £10. If you would like these 3 for a tenner (plus £2.00 p&p) please drop me an e mail at ishmael@ishmael.org.uk. This offer will not be available from our online shop so you can either pay over the phone or by cheque.

Oliver has just ordered my CD ‘Songs & Hymns’ and as a little Easter treat as well as sending him the ‘Sting in the Tale souvenir CD, I’ve also sent him the ‘Bigger Barn’ CD for free. I will do exactly the same for anyone who orders ‘Songs & Hymns’ up until Easter Sunday. Why? Well I believe this CD has a few good songs that are very simple to play and would be very suitable for Easter, ‘Blessed is the King”Hallelujah, Praise to Jesus’ and ‘Oh the peace’ to name just 3. Why ‘Bigger Barn?’ well, everyone needs a bit of ‘Wolfy Wolfy’ after the seriousness of Lent don’t…
